\"MBA<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome back to this edition of Stacy Blackman\u2019s B-School Buzz<\/em>, our periodic check-in with some of the MBA blogosphere\u2019s regular contributors. This week, Buzz bloggers discuss school culture, share 30 tips for \"killing\" the MBA application, and play the waiting game---not the waitlisted kind, but that of the recruiting variety.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The advice cup overfloweth<\/strong>---Ellipser<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, now in his second year at Cornell, was quite impressed with a recent post by MBAOver30<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, which lists not one dozen, not two dozen, but 30 valuable tips to help future b-school applicants. From advice such as \"Thou shalt play to win\" to \"Though shalt save thy money\", this\u00a0 list covers the gamut of the b-school application experience.<\/p>\n

Another look at culture<\/strong>---Julianne<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Tepper '13, candidly discusses what has been dubbed \"stress culture\" at Carnegie Mellon University, and Tepper specifically.\u00a0 Accustomed to over-achieving in her undergraduate years, she explains how her high expectations brought on a lot of stress when she first began the Tepper program...until she changed her mindset completely.<\/p>\n

The job search: a marathon, not a sprint<\/strong>---Cheetarah<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00a0<\/em>is trying not to panic as her fellow Chicago Booth<\/strong> classmates begin to snag solid internship offers while she steadily plugs away on cover letters tailored toward opportunities in her areas of interest--- sustainability and CSR. \"So until miracle or May happens I'm spending a whole lot of time giving my own version of the 'Pick me, choose me, love me,' speech to any company that will listen.\"<\/p>\n

A solid recommendation<\/strong>--- Sanket<\/strong><\/em><\/a>has high praise for the series of videos posted by the admissions team at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School,<\/strong> which he says give significant insight into decision making in the b-school application process. A good take-away is this truth: the admissions process really is more art than science as the schools strive to compose a diverse and dynamic class.<\/p>\n
